Mitochondrial ATP transporter depletion protects mice against liver steatosis and insulin resistance

Adenine nucleotide translocase (ANT) 2 promotes ADP/ATP exchange across the mitochondrial inner membrane. Choet al. show that liver specific Ant2 deletion increases uncoupled respiration and protects mice against fatty liver and obesity-induced insulin resistance.
